Stopped peanut butter in mid 70s. Nothing to do with

allergies (I don't even remember anything about peanut allergies back then) or dieting. But my mother, who always us served PBJ or peanut butter on our toast, decided to get hip with the make-your-own trend of that era (Salton started it as I recall). I was disgusted by the appearance of homemade peanut butter (need to stir in the oil), and the taste was worse. So I never ate peanut butter again. Not in a sandwich. Not on toast. Not in a rece's, etc. And I could never bring myself to ever again eat Jif or Skippy or other mainstream peanut butters either. The homemade stuff ruined all peanut butters for me forever. My sandwiches were never PBJ ever again (mostly cheese).

I like peanuts - roasted, salted, in a shell. But I will never consume peanut butter again.
